This transit is known in astrology as the Saturn Return and occurs approximately every 29 years. The planet Saturn has done a full cycle of your chart and returned to its natal position. The first Saturn return, at approximately 29-years-old, is one of the most important times of your life. You are leaving behind childhood and reviewing your life through new, more mature eyes. During this time your past comes under close scrutiny. You are being forced, whether you like it or not, to face life with a new maturity. This time marks a separation process, during which anything that no longer supports your life purpose is being broken down and remoulded, or discarded. This paves the way for new responsibilities to be shouldered as you move into the next cycle. The type of responsibility will be affected by the house placement and rulership of Saturn. The second Saturn return, around the age of 58, also forces you to face up to your responsibilities. The effects of this second return will vary, depending on how successfully you handled your first return.

I checked my boyfriend's transits on widget's world and well it said this. He is 29 years old.

Exactly as you've stated, the areas of ones life the Saturn return places most of its energies is dependant in whic house the placement of Saturn falls., also take into account any aspects Saturn has to other planets to build up a better idea of potential issues that may be aroused.

A lot of people go through the Saturn return without even knowing it, so don't panic just yet. I didn't know about mine until I was mid way through it, and for me personaly it was quite turbulent but I made it!

i've noted with quite a few people, some of the stuff you are obliged to let go of, is not always a permanent thing, I have seen people go through this period and move on from something, only to see them return to it a year or two down the line. Not saying it works out any better for them, who knows.

Mine in some way set me up for more permanency in my working life, it also destroyed a relationship that I didn't want to lose, and as I have just said, I went back to the relationship a year or so after and tried again, but unfortunately, it didn't work out. But that was just my experience of the return.

How about if Saturn is in Virgo and squares your sun and opposes the moon (T square)? My return isn't for a couple more years, but its already scaring me. Its bad enough having all those bad aspects to Saturn in natal, I am so not looking forward to them being doubly strong in the future. Tranquil, you are so lucky to have Saturn in a good placement, I'm so envious.

We all go through it if it is any consiladation. My partner is going through it at the moment and it is quite bad for him as his saturn is in the first house so it means that saturn conjunct asc is over then it will conjunct his natal saturn. He is quite depressed. Things are changing between us as well. He has started thinking about many things that he didnt before ex. significance of life, why we are toghether, questions about life, etc, etc. Only bad thing is that physically he has started suffering from joint pains which are awful.

I see it as a very fruitful period as he is finally 'growing'. I am sure he will come out as a person with better definitions of life etc. Our relationship will either progress making it the most meaningful relationship either of us ever had or it will collapse. Even if it collapses we will have learned something from it.

I have mine after two years and at least 5 planets will go retro then!!!
